Rutgers Helps NJ Resource Guide

The Rutgers Helps NJ Resource Guide is a collaborative effort between the Rutgers University School of Law—Newark and Rutgers University School of Social Work. The website is powered by Pro Bono Net and funded by the Healthcare Foundation of New Jersey. This website is designed to assist advocates, professionals and community members in navigating the complex array of federal, state, and local resources and agencies available to the public. It serves as a one-stop shop for social, legal, health-related and other services. Resources and agencies are categorized by topic area.
